On the set with Motion Picture Arts

Motion Picture Arts students are continuing their studies and personal film projects. This semester, several students are working with DeRoy Testamentary Foundation Filmmaker-In-Residence Kyle Tesalona, who is teaching Interlochen’s first-ever class on sound recording, editing and engineering.

Senior and junior students are working on their major film projects, which will debut at the Arts Festival in May. While senior students wrapped up the filming for their capstone projects, junior students began working on their thesis projects. Two thesis films are in production at the time of this writing; casting begins for two more next week, with actors being selected from Interlochen Arts Academy’s theatre program.

Lastly, details for the 2017 Future of Cinema Film Festival are beginning to take shape. Guest artists—including Interlochen Motion Picture Arts alumni—for the event will be announced soon. Stay tuned for updates!
